Ji Hai stepped forward and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
Qu Xuexin hurried forward and said in a delicate voice, "Sir, I want to thank your Master face to face!"
Hearing that Qu Moying had already entered the cabin, Qu Xuexin was a little anxious.
She originally thought that she wouldn't meet any good man, but she actually met one now, and it seemed that this Master was not under Lord Jing.
No matter which Lord this Master was, he was like a life-saving straw for Qu Xuexin.
She would rather become a concubine in a wealthy family than marry an ordinary person. If there were other choices, she would not choose Xiao Hanyuan.
How could she let go of such a good opportunity?
Xiao Hanyuan stood beside Qu Xuexin with a long face. He had already advised Qu Xuexin just now, but Qu Xuexin didn't listen to him. She behaved differently from the elegant, decent, and gentle lady in his memory.
Lanterns were everywhere in the city. There were big lanterns with dragon and phoenix patterns on the top, and below them were numerous pairs of festival lanterns.This was the liveliest place in the capital on Qixi Festival. The Sea of Lanterns could be seen from afar, and the sight was inexplicably beautiful.Some fastidious people made the lanterns themselves. They drew some obscure patterns or wrote some verses on the lanterns. The couples would hang the lanterns up together and pray for a beautiful future.Some people bought lanterns directly from stalls nearby. They were not expensive and there were various styles. Some shops made unique lanterns, and many women liked them.Pei Luo'an stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he spoke to a cloaked woman beside him.This woman was far away from him just now, but now she was walking shoulder to shoulder with him. There were couples around. It was not
"You don't know me? Didn't you say that your Master wanted to deal with Fourth Lady Qu? Now that I screwed it up, so you don't admit it?" Young Master Wang had already been slapped a few times by someone just now. Then, he was dragged here. Just now, he staggered forward and bumped into Liu Jingyu because someone pushed him.He didn't expect to bump into the woman who had hired him before, and she turned out to be a maid.At this time, Liu Jingyu stood up and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Someone, come and slap him!"Two lowly old maids came out from the back of the crowd. One of them reached out and grabbed Young Master Wang's hands while the other slapped him hard on the face. Immediately, the elegant-looking Young Master Wang was beaten to spit out blood, and his face swelled up. They slapped him really hard.Liu Jingyu ordered coldly with a calm expression, "Take him to Yamen and inquire about what h
Ji Hai knew what kind of person Pei Yuanjun was. If he hadn't spoken up for that woman at that time, she would have died in Pei Yuanjun's hands. Pei Yuanjun was not kind to her at all, yet she still acted like this, which was really ridiculous.Pei Yuanjun was a heartless person. He would not pretend to ignore her if he did care about her.If he really cared about her, why would he let her leave? Even if it was under that kind of situation, he would not have let her leave like that.Ji Hai grew up with Pei Yuanjun. He was not a servant of Lord Yun Mansion, but he followed Pei Yuanjun out of the palace. He had been a very loyal confidant of Pei Yuanjun.Because he knew Pei Yuanjun very well, he couldn't help but worry about him. Pei Yuanjun had never taken a fancy to or loved any woman. He was afraid that Pei Yuanjun would end up alone.But the situation seemed to have changed.Ji Hai was glad to see
When Qu Moying turned around, there were not so many people on the road. Many people had already gone home. She was not far from Yue's Clothing Pavilion. She only needed to pass two streets. When she reached the street where Yue's Clothing Pavilion was located, she saw that it was livelier than elsewhere.Many people were talking about Yue's Clothing Pavilion's embroidery as they walked. It was said that the embroidery was extremely beautiful. Although many people did not get it, they had heard of it and wanted to have a look.A few young ladies walked by. They were talking about Yue's Clothing Pavilion's five-color brocade happily. They all praised it for its beauty and said that they wanted to buy a set of clothes made of it.It was obvious that the opening ceremony this time was extremely successful.Yue's Clothing Pavilion and Yue's Gold Pavilion set the stage together. It was late now, so it was not lively around the st
There was a lad servant at the door. He was lean and looked smart.Seeing Yu Dong, he immediately asked with a smile, "Excuse me. Is the one inside the room Fourth Lady of Vice Minister Qu's Mansion?"Yu Dong looked up and down at the lad servant but found nothing unusual, so he asked, "What's the matter?"Qu Moying came here with a veiled hat just now. Who could recognize her so quickly? Was there someone keeping an eye on her?Yu Dong was a little uneasy. He looked at the lad servant vigilantly and asked, "Who is your Master?"The lad servant answered with a smile, "My master is Lord Wei. He is currently in a private room on the side. He just saw Fourth Lady Qu and wanted to ask her for help."Hearing "Lord Wei", Qu Moying narrowed her eyes. She didn't think she was familiar with Lord Wei.Qu Moying said, "Let him in."Yu Dong moved aside, and the lad servant walked in an
"You don't dare to accept it? What if I insist on giving it to you?" She looked so weak, yet she still acted as if she wanted nothing in return. Pei Qingmin thought she was extremely hypocritical, and his words became harsh, carrying some anger that even he himself didn't realize.His lad servant took a step back, noticing that Pei Qingmin was in a bad mood.He didn't know what had angered Pei Qingmin to such an extent that he became so angry for no reason. Pei Qingmin had always been calm and collected. After all, he was not in good health, so he should control his emotions and not be too angry or sad.Pei Qingmin used to control himself well, but he was obviously out of control today.Qu Moying said impatiently, "Your Highness, I don't know what you mean. I'm tired and want to leave first."She just wanted to go back and lie down. She was very uncomfortable and her back began to sweat. She lost all her spirit
"If I hadn't returned, would you have fainted in front of Lord Wei? Well, I wonder if that sickly Lord Wei would have fainted along with you."Pei Yuanjun said coldly, with his cold gaze landing on Qu Moying's face. He gave off a suffocating feeling as if he was from hell."What does this have to do with Lord Wei? It seems that I haven't recovered from the collision yet. I thought I had recovered." Qu Moying swallowed and felt a little nauseous. She subconsciously reached out to cover her chest.She could sense that Pei Yuanjun was angry, but she was not in the mood to say anything else. She only felt more uncomfortable. She felt uncomfortable in not only her chest but also her wrist. She shook the hand that was held by him trying to break free but to no avail."Stay in your mansion for the next few days. If you have anything to do, get someone to do it. There are some after-effects." Pei Yuanjun's expression eased a little
"Was it the thing that she fell into the water?" After thinking for a moment, Yu Dong asked. He guessed that the matter that Qu Xuexin tried to hurt Qu Moying had been exposed. He didn't expect Qu Xuexin to be so stupid to expose this thing."First Lady fell into the water? When?" Yu Chun asked in surprise, her eyes wide open."If that's not the case, what is it?" Yu Dong was also stunned. He looked at Yu Chun and asked hesitantly. It seemed that something else had happened after Qu Xuexin separated from them.Qu Xuexin really was a troublemaker. She actually caused trouble again in such a short time. Yu Dong couldn't help but get interested. He pulled Yu Chun to the side, wanting to listen to the whole story.Yu Dong did not have a good impression of Qu Xuexin because she plotted against Qu Moying. Hearing that something bad had happened to Qu Xuexin, he cheered in his heart.Yu Chun said, "I don't know the exa
